Digital giant Google is bringing its digital skills training courses to two Kent towns over the coming weeks.

The Google Digital Garage will offer free advice and coaching for people to enable them to help grow their business, career and online confidence.

As part of a tour of UK venues, the first takes place on Friday, October 5, in Tunbridge Wells.

It will then head to Tonbridge on Friday, November 9.

The bespoke training course in Tunbridge Wells will include building a digital marketing plan, social media strategy, how to make your business more visible online, and an introduction to digital advertising.

It is open to those with any level of experience.

Ronan Harris, managing director at Google UK, said: "In the digital age, a basic understanding of how the online world works is useful and when it comes to business, it’s essential.

“We want to give businesses in Tunbridge Wells the digital skills they need to make the most of new technologies to level the playing field against their competition, reach new customers beyond their local area and grow, whilst ensuring they remain at the heart of the local community.”

The event will take place at the Hotel du Vin from 10am to 5pm.

The Tonbridge event will be a similar day long event at the Angel Centre.
